turn or go to. >> sean: all right. guys, good work. thank you for being with us. >> that's it. thanks for being with us. have a >>alisyn: president obama is taking heat for an ad on osama bin laden. will that kind of politics work? >>dave: the last line of defense before boarding a plane? why aren't the t.s.a. agents getting background checks? details ahead. >>clayton: a vote -- a vet denied a refund when he found he cannot fly on spirit airlines because he was terminal cancer.

"fox & friends" begins right now. >> it's "fox & friends" and good morning, everyone. >>dave: how are you? >>clayton: we have a dart board set up. we have a group of folks going on vacation by throwing a dart at a dart board. >>alisyn: love it. brilliant. but sometimes you end up ... in not a garden spot. >>dave: i go to the same spot. >>clayton: just blow up a giant picture of hawaii. >>alisyn: and they have to go there. >>clayton: we will give away a vacation to another couple and

they will throw the dart. >>alisyn: rick is in tuscaloosa for the tragedy of the tornado that killed so many. he will talk to people would were plucked up by the tornado and spun around. they will tell their story. >>dave: we start with politicizing of the killing of osama bin laden and we are just a couple days short of the one year anniversary of the united states killing osama bin laden and the administration is trying to use this for political gain. we knew this would happen. certainly any president would do this. but would they take this tactic saying, suggesting that maybe mitt romney wouldn't have done the same thing. check out this obama ad. >> he took the harder and more honorable path and the one that produced, in my opinion, the

best result. >> if not worth moving heaven and earth and spending billions trying to catch one person he was referring to the hunt for osama bin laden. >> the ad is shaking things up in washington. the white house has said they are not into spiking the football. right? >>dave: that was the claim immediately after killing osama bin laden. >>clayton: we will not go out there and spike the football, but this is a new ad from the obama administration can clearly spikes the football. >>dave: it just smells weird. >>alisyn: what is the line, right? what is the line. are you allowed to trumpet your success of a bold action or is it politicizing if you rewind the tape to 9/11 everyone was concerned about never using that

in a political ad, is the bin laden an extension of that. >>clayton: giuliani was criticizing for referencing 9/11 all the time "bold leadership." and it was knocked on the daily show. it crosses the threshhold when you say, yes, you are a decisive president. you made the choice. wouldn't others make that choice. >>dave: it is a tremendous reach to suggest that any other presidential candidate, anyone in the white house, wouldn't have made the same decision. ron paul probably would have pulled the trigger on that given the information and the evidence that we had to suggest that mitt romney, who is more hawkish than any other candidate not race that he would not. >>clayton: but we don't know so to put that in an ad, senator john mccain said it best, saying this yesterday, shame on president obama for diminishing the memory of help -- 9/11 who

said after osama bin laden was dead we would not spike the ball and now he is trying to score political points by invoking osama bin laden doing a shameless end zone dance to get re-elected. it doesn't seem like something president obama would do. >>dave: let alone bill clinton who did not get bin laden himself. >>alisyn: but on the flip side, charles krauthammer thinks it is okay for president obama to remind people of a bold decision he made. he thinks that's totally fair game. however, where he thinks it crosses the line is trying to get into romney's head. this is krauthammer on "special report." >> there is a lot wrong with this ad. there is nothing wrong with a president making a positive ad saying i did this. it was risky. i'm commander in chief.

good thing you want to re-elect me. that is legitimate. it is not using it in an illegitimate way but he says, i did this and romney wouldn't have done that. that is nonsense. he doesn't know. and it was a distortion. >>alisyn: he doesn't say romney wouldn't, he poses the question, would romney? >>clayton: we don't know. and to say anyone in that situation might, in history that has not been the case. we saw it with bill clinton where he did not pull the trigger. and bush did not pull the trigger. and some of the unit criticized the administration. it is not as clear-cut as that but i agree with the overall statement. >>dave: it looks hypocritical when you look back at the 2008 campaign and hillary clinton ran an ad using osama bin laden, in part, and the image was

criticized by the obama campaign. specifically, phil burton, bill burton, who criticized the clinton campaign for using these types of images and called it the "politics of fear." here is the direct quote. from them. in 2008. ironic she would borrow the president's tactics in her campaign and invoke bin laden to score political points. we have, and here is the key, a president would played the "politics of fear and we don't need another." so, burton is suggesting using osama bin laden is playing the politics of fear. how does this differ? >>alisyn: using bin bin laden's death is different. >>clayton: maybe raising the 3:00 a.m., phone call question again. you don't have to worry about me at 3:00 a.m. >>dave: we have a lot to say about this.

>>clayton: it is shaking up washington, e-mail us on this, and you can contact us at twitter. >>alisyn: that was a plug for twigger. also, this morning, intelligence officials describing the changing face of al qaeda with the core severely weakened since the death of bin laden and they in longer appear capable of a large scale sophisticated attack but bad news, as well, saying affiliates of growing and present a threat on a small are scale and that al qaeda's new leader, still wants to attack the united states, but lives in fear of another u.s. raid. >> the biggest lead is far not search for the missing arizona girl with new surveillance video of a group of people would might know something about the disappearance. the video shows five people walking to a church parking lot less than a block from her home about the seem time she

vanished. police urge those people to call 9-1-1 immediately, and authorities in mexico gin the senator for the six-year-old. >> we have shared with him the information on her to include identifiers in a picture and what our case involves and he assures us he will distribute that information through mexican authorities and be on the look out. the parents last say their daughter on friday night in her bet and a $50,000 reward is offered for her safe return. >> house confirmed they are moving away with plans to hold attorney general in contempt of congress after refusing to hand over documents on operation "fast and furious," and denies he is being unqueenive. the program put hundreds of

weapons in the hands of reallies and two of those guns were used in a shoot out that killed a border agent. >> and a new reasoning to flight risk, a prisoner flowing police on the tarmac at phoenix airport. we told you about the story yesterday but new we have the video. the suspect is escorted by two sheriff deputies bringing him in on drug charges from detroit and he make as run for it, through the airport parking lot, down the road, and on to the tarmac. where he reportedly tried to kill an airport vehicle. and the usa airway employees appeared he did not have proper i.d. and tackled hill. now he is securely behind bars. >> those are the headlines. >> this weekend is the one year anniversary of the deadly tornado in alabama that devastated alabama. >>dave: and our chief meteorologist is like on the ground in tuscaloosa, alabama.

rick: good morning, guys, one year ago yesterday, that tornado, yesterday evening, the tornado cut through tuscaloosa part of 350 tornadoes in a four-day outbreak and 250 died in alabama and 53 in tuscaloosa and you can get an idea, there is rebuilding beginning on if you look behind me, great construction going on, and a number of homes that are either built already, or different states of repair. and that is good. the mayor says that 42 percent of the people here have building permits or building is going on. so we have amazing stories to talk about this morning and i want to get to the weather. look at map, and show you what is beginning on, a very cold start to your day across the northern plains. get ready for freeze warnings going on this morning toward the northeast, and temperatures are below the freezing mark, and warm to the south, and look at the radar pictures there will be

shower today and we will see that primarily across the ohio valley and the northern plains, chicago, kind of a gloomy day, and same for minneapolis, and across the west, we will see a few shower in the pacific northwest and snow in montana. this is a threat again today for severe weather, and a couple of little bull's eye, one is going to be across the ohio valley and the biggest threat there is wind and hail and the bull's eye is from texas and oklahoma and a threat for a tornado or two and folks in that area, toward oklahoma city, watch that. all morning, amazing stories. here are the inspiring stories and amazing stories of survival, and we will bring those to you all morning long. and now back to you. >> i read the nets of the people you will interview and they are riveting. >>clayton: caught on tape, an epa official says his agency occasionally crucified oil

companies. he is apologizing but is the epa really sorry? we report. you decide. >>dave: spontaneous? or crazy? a family plans their trips by throwing a dart at a map. they are giving away a free vacation to a deserving family by, again, throwing a dart. i'm really going to miss you.

>> 16 minutes past the hour. the epa is coming under fire after an official compared the agency's enforcement policy to "crucifixtion."

i have given an allergy -- an analagy to my staff about crucifixtion. >> the official has apologized but is this mentality on par for the course of the epa and is it good for business, in general? joining us is business leader joining us this morning. you heard the apology after the comment came out about crucifying individuals, but, does it, where there is smoke there is fear in this administration? is this part of the administration's agenda going after people who would go against epa policy? >>guest: you know, you heard him say it, saying this is probably crude and inappropriate but i will go ahead and say it anyway. so, with intent you are going to

do it. we are all in this together. and the more we continue to have hostile language, and try to pull people into that bucket versus this bucket, we are rowing in the same boat to turn this around and i am mind will of environmental and it was green how i start add company but jobs must come before whales and trees right new. >>clayton: do you is to compromise? the white housing as they are trying to undo the eight years of the bush presidency rolling back mountain top meaning removal in west virginia and on and on and on. but does that wash with being pro business? can the two coexist? >>guest: if it is realistic, we are so bound right now by so many rules and regulations so it takes hard capital, to be in compliance. do you want me to take that capital and comply or invest if jobs and go in the areas we ned

to bring back manufacturing and bring back control and bring become the strength of this country needs. which is the priority? everything cannot be a priority. that is the problem with the administration, right now everything is a priority, you can only have one or two at the maximum, clear, down focuses. what is it? >>clayton: the left argue that, look, next on created the epa, this was a next on agency. but, at the same time there is a push back from the right, personal response belt in business, your business, can we trust businesses to live up to that responsibility? taking care of the environment while creating jobs? the government just get out of it all together. >>guest: of course my chorus is to get out of the way. this has to be a parameter to say this is our standard. i don't have a problem with "this is our standard," what i have a problem is asking me to do a myriad of things at the same time is with very limited

capital. set not realistic. am i pro epa? yes, with parameters. now it is not even realistic, it takes hours to figure out out the rules and regulations. and you are pigeonholing the largest companies we have, and that affects all the small businesses. what they do is our vendor, who we work for, a big domino effect. >>clayton: great to see you. we needed that energy this morning. coming up, president obama taking heat for this political ad that applauds the success of the bin laden issue, and questions whether mitt romney would have done this ais well. >> and a pro golfer in search of a date but not use conventional

>>dave: a year after osama bin laden's death, president obama's re-election team has an ad asking whether mitt romney would have ordered the raid and now john mccain is firing back. he says "now president obama is trying to score political points by invoking osama bin laden but he is doing a shameless end zone dance to get re-elected." is this effective campaign tool? or a cheap shot? we have the founder and the president of american islamic reform for democracy. trumpeting foreign policy credentials certainly is fair

game. did the president go a step too far in this case? >>guest: well, i do agree with senator john mccain, and it is interesting how things change overtime and the president, really, presidents should be a unifier and this is not a partisan issue. regardless of who is in the white house, the decision would have been made for to us have victory over bin laden and give him the ultimate text price. field team six and the military should not be used at a political tool. both sides have been guilty at teams and as a muslim i have seen the muslim issue and the muslim community and domestic terror threat and radical dangerous used between the left and the right. and for the white house, it, really, is exploiting to use this and not say we are beginning to develop a strategy and al qaeda has not necessarily disappeared and may have developed other heads of the

hydra and the middle east is more dangerous an ever. >>dave: it is hypocritical when you go back in time, the immediate aftermath of the killing of ben bin and the president said, we will not attempt to spike the football. is it doing just that? >>guest: well, i think it does seem to be that way and in this election year, unfortunately, what happens, as many in the muslim world see if america will defend those searching for freedom and do the right thing but looks as if it is a political reason and in this political season it is used in an exploited matter rather than doing what is right and unifying us from the left and the right and the white house has not risen above that and is not laying out the strategy. the people of syria and many of those fighting for freedom have to see the president to say, well, possibly waiting for elections rather than doing what is right. here, again, the ad is spiking football rather than saying what our vat joy is and being nonpartisan in the battle.

>>dave: doctor as we approach the one year anniversary i am curious of your intake on the world since the killing of bin laden? how has the war on terror changed? >>guest: well, i think it is unfortunate that, still, now, coming into the 4th year of the presidency, we do not have a doctrine. the world is changing and many of us are seeing secular dictators and thugs to see their demise and change but if that goes toward political islam it will be more of a threat as iran has become more of a let and we don't have a white house with the courage to say we will take sides with the battle if the house of islam, and those seeking individual freedom and liberty and have a liberty doctrine. we don't know what the president's doctrine is, so, ultimately, this is my one year i thought we would have new theories from the president of what their approach should be but we have not seen that.

even this week in the "national journal," someone said the war is over and clearly from somalia to nigeria to sudan and iran and syria, the war is far from over. >>dave: thank you, doctor, for joining us. coming up the last line of defense before boarding a plane, so, why aren't some airport employees getting background checks? ♪

story that really has impacted the community in a big way. not just tuscaloosa but so many areas in alabama. and now, what happened with this storm. >> it was just one tornado not most prolific outbreak if u.s. history and a year since the vicious tornado ripped tuscaloosa cutting six-mile path of destruction in less than six minutes. 53 people die asked more than 1,200 were injured. >> we have disruption. we have neighborhoods that have basically been removed from the map. >> and the fox affiliate caught the tornado's fury on this storm chase are video. survivors were desperately dig through piles of rubble searching for any sign of life. >> the baby is one. my aunt is about 42.

wondering around you hear all of the stories. look at the pictures, a lot of different organizations have gotten together to help people here who have lost everything they had and this right here is a home that was build for benjamin torres a military vet who served in iraq and afghanistan and he came back here and lost everything he had in this tornado. a home was rebuilt by the united meth different community of relief. take a listen to what benjamin, how he responded to the help he received. >> a wonderful group of people from all over, from florida, from california, all these people came, took time from their lives to come help me. a little gay, from tuscaloosa, it brings tears to my eyes. i can't ... i wish ... i want to

say, thank you. rick: he feels such glad tuesday he works giving back to the community working with a home for autistic children and plan how he can other other homes to be rebuilt. >>dave: i know you touched on yesterday how football has helped rebuild the spirit of that community, as well, and that means a lot to me. great job, risk. >>alisyn: we will hear great stores from rick all morning. and now a lot more to tell you about, the secret service is tightening the rules of target in the wake of the colombian escort scandal. now agents can no long are take phoners to their hotel rooms and banned from drinking ten hours from the shift and visiting disreputable establishments and have to attend ethic training classes next week, and support for secret service director mark sullivan is eroding some say the

new rules suggest the colombian fiasco was not isolated incident and if that is true he should be held accountable. >> well, the judge at john edwards' trial requesting -- rejecting a request by his former mistress about a former video. andrew young is on trial for hiding the campaign cash, and young's wife, sherry will take the stand on monday. >> the t.s.a. is a little more lax on screening through airport workers than it is on passengers. reportedly a backlog is keeping some u.s. airports from completing background checks but it is not keeping the workers from being hired and the t.s.a. is granting "relief," allowing t.s.a. agents to be hered without being fully screened.

the airports where this has taken place have not been identified. >>dave: a professional golfer, lexe thompson last year set a new record of 16 becoming the youngest female to win an lpga tournament and now setting her sights on prom date. >> for my date i am looking for someone special and someone that i respect and that is why i am choosing a guy from the service. >> very nice. if addition to military service her date must be between 18 to 20 years old, so if you think you have what it takes to be her date step by her facebook page and sign up. the winner is friend to fort lauderdale, florida, all expenses paid. generally it works in reverse. she is taking a page from glenn beck's arsenal of the white board, look at this.

what it looks like? >>guest: yes. >>clayton: some of the places, what have been most interesting. >>guest: well the first one was great, marsh island, louisiana, now, it was a game reserve, so, the island had no one living on it, but, because we were in the area we visited factories and bayous and areas southern louisiana. >>clayton: and a great way to explore the united states. >>guest: right. >>clayton: your favorites? , i licked circle, montana, we took out 18-month-old 20 boys and it was a lot of fun. >>clayton: well we brought a family in this morning by satellite, and you met the individuals and you will be throwing a dart in a few minutes, giving away a vacation to the family, so they could be nervous, and i want to bring them in this morning.

pretty emotional for all of us. >>clayton: we were not able to go on the family trip when you met them. what touched you? >>guest: well, first of all, they were just so generous, we went out to the dew points, and we were encouraged by the locals that you have to see this and we went out there and we started to put together representing a dune buggy but it wasn't coming together very well, and we thought, well we well get out there and see what is happening and they were so kind to offer first, a ride and they didn't know my wife, but she is a little nervous of that sort of things so he took her over the hills and she was gone and i am thing what is going on, and this is america and you can meet great people. so now the moment you have been waiting for you step up to the dart board and you will have them let the dart and fine out where the skay family is going on vacation. how far back to you have to stand? >>guest: i'm not much of a dart thrower, and do you want to

plus, shut down and evacuated newark airport goes into panic because a baby goes through security withoutening -- without being screened. ever seen a baby try to take down an aircraft? glad they shut down all the flights. "fox & friends" hour two starts right now. >>alisyn: good morning, everyone, thank you for joining us. we have a jam packed hour. >>clayton: wake up the kids, we have a lot more coming up. >>alisyn: and here are the headlines, a group gunmen tried to attack the governor's office in afghanistan, but were successfully stopped. security forces saying two of the gunmen were killed and another womaned, after attempting to reach the office inside the compound. folks say the attackers were wearing explosive rigged vests and carrying grenades and rifles

and the governor was not hurt. police in tucson are hoping the people in this newly released surveillance video can provide some clue as to where a missing arizona girl may be. the video show as group on the seem night that isabel vanished walking through a church park lot several blocks from the home. >> we don't know where they came from and they could be in an entertainment establishment, but we would like to have those people, if they necessity that is them, to identify themselves and contact us. >>alisyn: police confirm that mexican authorities have generalled the senator for this six-year-old. her parents last saw their daughter last friday night in her bed, a $50,000 reward is being offered for her safe run. isbackage on the brink of extension? that is what intelligence officials are claiming saying

they have been disappeared since bin laden was killed in a u.s. raid in april. and they say the new leader wants to attack the united states but does not have the resources the on the phelps -- flip side, affiliates are gaining strength and pose a threat on a smaller scale. newark international airport shut down because a baby was not screened properly. it start the when a mother was carry her baby through security and the metal detector went off and she passed the baby to her husband who was cleared, so she could be given a patdown, and she was cleared they walked off, and 30 minutes later the t.s.a. realized they never double checked the baby, and, that is when airport police evacuated the term 23458, and brought in bomb sniffing dogs. passengers were allowed back an hour later and each was rescreened, and the family was never found.

>> all right, that is not ... >>dave: the t.s.a. not doing background checks on all airport employees. >>alisyn: something is wrong this morning. >>clayton: glad we got the babies. and a year ago the city of tuscaloosa was devastated by a tornado that tore across the state. >>dave: and chief meteorologist, rick, was there a year ago and live this on the ground again this morning. rick, we know they are rebuilding and i assume their spirits are rebuilding as much as the homes and building in tuscaloosa. rick: and the first year, a one year anniversary for a lot of people especially who lost family members the first year, obviously, a very difficult time with a memorial service last evening with the mayor and the governor as well as all the family members in such where there so it is a rough time but feeling hopeful and a last them happy to get the first year under their belt. this is a look at the last of

the debris that is out here, 99 percent of the debris after the tornado has been cleaned up, one little spot left, here, and this pond they are drinking right now, and just began yesterday to dredge and pull the stuff out of here. so, kind of the last element they have to deal with. and i want to talk about the weather we have going on. a few things going on across the country. look at weather map in the northeast, a very cold start to your morning. in fact, all kinds of freeze warnings so we are at the end of april and it is brutally april. freeze watches again tonight in the interior section, and the temperatures across the rest of the country, cool across the rockies and warm and muggy in the south and we expect to see that chance for severe weather today, from oklahoma, kansas, and toward the ohio river valley. guys coming up, we will talk to a man would lives open the lake, and why it has taken longer to clean up the lake.

>>clayton: great stories coming from there. and now politics because this is growing outrage over what the obama administration is doing with this new osama bin laden ad and this weekend the obama administration is pulling out all the stops with interviews at the smithsonian channel doing a special on osama bin laden raid and president obama sat down with a special interview inside the "situation room," which presidents do not usually do but this ad going after mitt romney and raising a serious question about his intention if he would go after osama bin laden. take a listen. >> he took the harder and the more honorable path. and the one that produced, in my opinion, the best result. it is senate worth moving heaven and earth, spending billions of

dollars, just trying to catch one person. he was referring to the hunt for osama bin laden. >>dave: there are a lot of things confusing about the ad. one is the notion that mitt romney may not have done the same thing. but, to clarify, mitt romney was saying when he was quoted, it is not all about one person. the war on terror is not about any one person but a wide-spread effort on behalf of radical islam. is this doing what president obama pledged not to do? spiking the football? he said he would not do it immediately after the killing of bin laden. >>alisyn: senator john mccain believes he is doing just that, and using this purely for political exploitation. here is what he says about to new campaign video. shame on president obama for diminishing the memory of september 11th and the killing of osama bin laden by turning it into a keep legal attack ad. he said after osama bin laden

was dead we should not spike the ball after the touched and he is trying to score political points but doing a shameless end zone dance to get himself elects." is this exploiting 9/11? as senator john mccain has suggested? or is this a victory? and he is allowed to applaud for bold, decisive action. >>clayton: how much do you share in that victory? the american public is aware of bin being kill asked a decision that president obama made. maybe leave well enough alone. charles krauthammer said this, though. >> this is a lot wrong with this ad. there is nothing wrong with the president making a positive ad saying, i did this, it was risky, and i am commander and chief, a good thing you want to re-elect me. that is legitimate. it is not using it in a way that is illegitimate. but, instead, he says i did there and romney wouldn't have

done that, that is nonsense. he doesn't know that and a distortion of what romney is saying. >>alisyn: his objection is you cannot get into the mind of romney. and know what he would do. >>dave: he doesn't need to do that. he can trumpet the bold, action he took without questioning another man's motivation. it was unnecessary. >>clayton: and an area where he has had the strength in will positives, president obama is clearly higher on foreign policy that romney and the mistakes that mitt romney has made, the staff members talking about czechoslovakia, let them make their own mistakes on foreign policy. >>dave: some say it is a hypocritical when you look become at 2008 campaign and what the obama administration campaign took issue. hillary clinton ran an ad using bin laden images, if an ad, to

tout her strength and experience in foreign policy knowledge, and, obama campaign specifically, bill burton, took issue with that ad saying "it's ironic that she would borrow the president's tactics in her own campaign and invoke bin laden to score political points." now, here is the key point they paid. we already have a president would plays the politics of fear, and we don't need another. so the question is, obviously, if that was playing the politics of fear in 2008, isn't this doing the very same thing? >>alisyn: well, there is a difference between 2008 and now that he is caught, rather, now that he is killed. difficult to say. >> what about the 3:00 a.m., wake up card that the obama administration shot down. >>dave: you can trumpet your own success. >>alisyn: another subject that is being politicized in washington, dc, are student

loans. >>clayton: that is putting it nicely. both parties are not coming up with ideas on the student loan debt. the house of representatives passed a law to keep the rates at 3.4 percent. this happened under the public administration they lowered the rates down to 3.4 percent, and in july they will jump back up to 7.4 million americans affected by this. here is speaker boehner talking about this on the floor yesterday. how not world -- how in the world did we get here? democrats, five years ago, they put this clip in the law, that would require student loan interest rates to more than double on july 1st. i don't know why they difficulty. but my god do we have to fight about everything? and, now, now, now, we will have a fight overwhelm's health.

give me a break! entirely created by my colleagues across the aisle for political gain. bill political fight where there is no political fight, that is just silly. give me a break. vote no on this motion to recommit. vote yes on a final bill. >>clayton: the white house is threat being to veto that because it pulls money from a slush fund to help women. but obama would pull from the same slush fund. >>dave: they are saying they would "trim," the fund. how about the speaker, in more tears, an emotional, fired up guy and he is talking about what nancy pelosi is trying to say, making this a women's health issue. listen. >> imagine if we are sitting around the kitchen table, as a family, as we are, and we say it

is a family in order for you to go to college we are not going to be immunize your little brother or sister, we are not going to be able to have preventive care for screening for breast and cervical cancer. on and on. for your mom. or any other preventive care for men and women in our family. this would be wrong. >>alisyn: there you go. >>clayton: both sides. it is so funny to watch them pander. how do you feel about it. democrats want to take from oil and gas and republicans what. to take from the health care slush fund. it is selection year. >>alisyn: with illegal immigration another hot political topic, president obama and mom are trying to get the latino voters. who has a better chance?

>>dave: president obama and mitt romney are stumping for the latino vote. look at a recent celebrity endorsement for the president. >> whether he is fighting for affordable health care and access to education or supporting small business and hispanic communes, over the last these years he has worked to reform our immigration system to give everyone a fair shot at the american dream. >> a fox news contributor and "wall street journal" editorial board member and is here to offer reaction on a couple of topics. so, this week in the battle over

immigration, we saw front and center at the supreme court, who do you think won the week? and where will this go? >>guest: it was a mixed bag at the court but i have to say based on the oral arguments part of the arizona law will be upheld, particularly those parts that complement the federal effort. sort of having police report illegal immigrants when they come across them. where the justices are skeptical where the law exceeds what the federal government is doing, sanctions on employers, that may not survive court scrutiny. so a mixed bag. but it was a better day for arizona than for the administration when the liberal justices such a sotomayor are questioning your case, it is not a good day. >>dave: maybe not just a good day for arizona but for a lot of states. >>guest: there could be five other states that have tried to

pass or have passed arizona, similar arizona-style law and there could be copycat legislation out there in the weak of this court ruling but there is another issue, the constitutionality of the law, and, then, whether the laws work, in terms of reducing illegal imgriggs. some of the states have thought about move nothing that direction and some southern states, georgia and mississippi are having second thoughts because businesses did not care for this saying it will make it tougher to find workers and local law enforcement folks do not care to be deputized as immigration agents. so it makes their day job harder. it is a mixed bag. >> and a nexted bag when you go to peck your vice presidential candidate if you are the nominee for a party headed into the election year and romney obviously getting hit with all kinds of questions and there he

will peck rubio, a first term senator from florida, does it help or hurt romney, will it help him among latino voters in florida specifically and across the nation? >> he could do worse than rubio as a vice presidential candidate. as someone, as a running mate. rubio is young. energetic. he is a star not republican party and he will excite people. whether he will bring on latino voters is another question. romney has dug quite a hole particularly the primary process with the debates. and trying to win the primaries he has moved to the right, and courting the hard lenders that vote if primaries on the issue, that is a hole to dig out of. i don't if rubio can help him out of that. romney has to do that himself, and the polling i have seen says he has his work cut out for him.

allow this exemption and par weres can opt out. there are as do if not more states. why do you believe this exemption should continue to exist? >>guest: well, good morning, thank you for having me on the program. the exemption is essential for the flow right to decline a pharmaceutical product. vaccines are enjectable pharmaceutical products and, therefore, they carry in risk, and the risks have been determined by the u.s. government asening unavoidably undertaken by those who take vaccines and if they do require our informed consent, we must be able to analyze carefully the risks of this product versus the benefit of the product, and to decline if we fell the risks are too great. >>alisyn: doctor, you have heard of argument of being able

to declean and by the time a child hits kind garden they is selfed 20 different vaccines do you thing it would be possible for parens to reject some of those? >>guest: i can think offing in worse than a child dying from a completely preventable disease and sense evacuation nations in this country are the safest they have ever been and the wrecks are so rare i don't see this as a major issue for parents. i am a parent and a physician. >>alisyn: the doctor is talking about something we heard about, vaccines do not always work unless everyone is vaccinated, and why is to tell you, in empty., whooping cough came back. there was a whooping cough outbreak because some parents did not vaccinate the kids. >>guest: it is interesting you would frame it that way. whooping cough is occurring in vaccinated populations, as well,

and, so what we are finding, that the studies she this is an issue of product performance. the efficacy of the vaccine seats to be less than what we have previously anticipated, and, therefore, there has been many outbreaks, even if tons that have high evacuation nation rates. >>alisyn: i want to get the doctor to respond. >>guest: well, i disagree. also, not every child that gets vaccinated from whooping cough will be protected but most will. in 2010 there was an outbreak and 25 died, children died, they are vulnerable. i agree with your guest, get your information, taught with your pediatrician, do what you need to do but this is not a big pharmaceutical conspiracy to force par. s to do somethingen safe.

>>dave: the day tuscaloosa will never for get when a deadly tornado tore through the city killing 54 people and leaving a path of destruction six miles long with the tragedy happening a year ago. >> the community is rebuilding stronger than ever before and the chief meteorologist, rick, is in tuscaloosa talking to the survivors. when you first showed up were you shocked to he how quickly it has been rebuilt. reconciliation pir -- rick: a year ago we first saw the images

of the tornado with the debris and you thought it would be impossible to get just that debris out of that area with the hazardous waste and it is all gone pretty much. that is good. and a lot of the area has been build before 1969, different zoning laws, a lot of the area that was destroyed in a flood plane, and a lot of lower income neighborhoods so a lot of old homes and that made the process more difficult. but, they is sorted through that as a community with zoning laws and such, and they are doing a lot better. i am joined by gary, a resident right here. we have talked at length this morning about some of the problems, and difficulties in rebuilding and they will face, anyone will face that when they go through this but 99 percent of the debris is again, and there is a last little spot, here, where there is debris and it is this lake. tell me what is going on here. >>guest: we have been working with the city for a year now and they have worked very hard.

just a long ross and a lot of red tape, and there have been engineering studies and everyone is kind of interested because, obviously, when there is hazardous waste in there with stuff blown from all over the area, and there is a lot of debris still left to there. rick: i want to look at video we have of this area last year, right after the tornado want through, because it gives you an idea of how much debris was here. you have a budge of ducks that live on this lake. >> we do, we are locking after the ducks and we have installed six kiddie pools so they have a place when we drain. and there are five mothers and 14 ducklings. wreck risk a tree is the community's christmas tree, the tree for for of the lake, but, also, tuscaloosa standing there,

is it worse to go to jail in america with three square mail as day all your rights are wrecked or to lobby this wonderful country and be sent back to guatemala. >>guest: isn't it about principle not price. she deserves to --. >>arthur: the judge disagreed, faith. >>guest: it is principle, not police. we may have to pay our u.s. dollars for this woman if she is actually convicted but let the justice system works. it is unfair for this family to watch someone accused of killing their already one. she hit him and left the scene of crime. she left this person to die. so she should have to face trial. >>dave: and arthur, i want the last word from you, the department of homeland security is against what the judge is saying saying the u.s. government object asked reserves the right to appeal to the board of immigration.

our own d.a. says, no. >>arthur: when you have police departments laying off police officers because of money, mayors saying we cannot continue the programs because of money, money, money, here is $250,000, you could hire three more prosecutors ten more conditions, or send this woman back to guatemala. this is this judge's . of view and now it is challenged. >> you do not get a free pass for killing someone. because financial reasons. >>arthur: hard financial decisions have to be made during the hard times. >>guest: so people commit minor times deport them, but not this. >>dave: a fascinating topic. should this illegal be deported without fixing trial for hit-and-run charges? fiend me on twitter. coming you, caught on tape, an epa official says his agency "occasionally crucifies oil

companies." you can't argue with nutrition you can see. great grains. great grains cereal starts whole and stays whole. see the seam? more pcessed flakes look nothing like natural grains. i'm eating what i kn is better nutrition. mmmm. great grains. search great grains and see for yourself.

what ? customers didn't like it. so why do banks do it ? hello ? hello ?! if youbank doesn't let you talk to a real perso24/7, you need an ally. hello ? ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense.

>>dave: if the idea of dieting

is not for you there are foods you can eat to help you lose weight. is arthur pay attention? >>alisyn: he is off camera eating. the top five flat belly foods with the associate editor of "men's health magazine." eat your way to thinness. >> we do not want to suck in our stomach. yogurt is the first thing. dave and i eat it each morning. >> this is great. people that eat yogurt as part of a local calorie diet lose 81 percent more belly fat than those who diet without the yogurt. it comes down to this bacteria, they do a lot of really good things, and it is a holistic thing to have but it increases appetite cypressing hormones so that is in the yogurt, and that is good because of the calcium and yogurt is above and beyond.

>>alisyn: i am not making you jealous. ice coffee is good to flatten your belly. >>guest: the caffeine is like a record for the metabolism and gets it going. hot or cold. the thing is, 600 milligrams of caffeine, two large cups, that will increase your metabolism enough to burn about 150 calorie as day. and is appetite suppressant but if you add cream and sugar that will act against that. else else over the course of the day. >>guest: do not chug this. smaller cups through the day, for small cups coffee is perfect. >>clayton: apples. >>guest: that is fat frighting fruit. people who eat apples 15 minutes before a meal take in 200 fewer

calories and report feeling fuller. so, that is a double effect. all fiber. and one apple, four or five grams of fiber and that goes so far to keep your stomach full. and nuts are high fat food that felts fat off your body. and it is the finer and fats from the nuts that decrease another fat that is behind the abdomen wall that deflates the beer belly we put on during the winter. men's health is paired with planter to get three types of nuts the most portable way to lose weight and stay full. it kills-er. >>clayton: eggs? >>guest: the protein in eggs. they are a protein hero. people that start their day with eggs opposed to bagels have been able to use 34 percent, four

inches from their waist so start with pre-teen and you will full more full and lock better in a bathing suit. >>clayton: bagels have four serve ensure -- servings in one babe el. >>guest: pre-teen will -- protein will stay with you but the bagels will not stay with you because of the carbohydrates. >>clayton: and house of representatives leaders want to hold eric holder responsible for "fast and furious." most life insurance companies

>>alisyn: good morning, everyone, on saturday, april 28. the battle over student loans is turning nasty. democrats turning the issue into a woman's health issue, so listen to what speaker had to say. >> a big political fight where there is no fight, that is just silly. give me a break. >>alisyn: would has a point? who is playing politics? we report. you decide. >>dave: and the last line of defense when boarding a plane so why are some t.s.a. agents getting a badge before they get a background check? that is straight ahead. >>dave: is this guy the worse boyfriend ever?

look on this prank. >> i am wearing this mask and carrying the laptop to my hands and acting leak i'm robbing the place. >> some boyfriend! >> i hope that is ex-boyfriend. >> we will find out. he and his friends, like, hour three starts right now. get your e-mails in on that one. >> guess what? you are watching "fox & friends" this morning. >>dave: that is a deal breaker. allegation it was terrifying. they were terrified and one was crying because it was such a shock, they thought their house was being broken into and this kid is a prankster and we will talk to him and his girlfriend about how they are doing now. and why he did that.

>>dave: congratulations to him. and now we start with politics and who would thing we would fight in washington, dc about student loans and the percent and lowering --. >>clayton: the rate is 3.4 percent. >>dave: we are fighting about there and making it political, and speaker boehner passed the bill, lowering or keeping the student loan rates low. and speaker boehner has gone from shedding tours to -- tears to slamming his 50 and the democrats will veto or threatened to veto this house-passed legislation. listen to the speaker on friday. >> highway in the world do we get here? a fight being picked over an issue that there is no fight over. democrats, five years ago, put

this clip in the law, that would require student loan interest rates to more than double on july 1st. i don't know why this deit but do we have to fight about everything? and, now, now, now we will have a fight over the health of women. give me a break. my colleagues across the aisle or doing this for political zone. this is just silly. give me a break. vote "no," on this motion to recommit. vote "yes," on a final bill. >>clayton: at issue in all of this, where this money would come from, and, so, republicans would pull from the melt care slush fund that goes to seven california screening for women and also breast cancer screening, and democrats say this is a women's health issue that republicans are pulling money from. >> imagine if we are sitting around the kitchen table as a

family as we are, and we say it is a family, in order for you to go to college we will not be able to immunize your little brother or sister. we are not going to be able to have preventive care in terms of screening for breast cancer and cervical cancer. for your mom. or any preventive care for men and women in our family. it would be wrong. >>alisyn: it is tough. you have to pay for things the things is to be paid for, because of the situation we are in, the climate the financial fix we are in. so, if you keep student loan rates low at 3.4 percent and not raise them to the trigger of 6.8 percent. >>clayton: it will cost $6 billion. >>alisyn: they want to take it out of the preventive health fund. >>clayton: which the obama administration if their very own budget for 2013 had positioned

to cut so is this not hypocritical on the part of administration? >>alisyn: cut by how much? >>dave: small are cuts and over time it would be trimmed. >>alisyn: you are robbing peter to pay paul. en has a pet issue. >>clayton: this doing in for education. this is a minimal blip on the radar. do we have to fight over everything? this is extending the loan payment. my point is, we have online edge, we have a whole education system that needs to be revanched. the reimbursement for interest rates isry deck louse. >>dave: we are playing small ball sweating the stuff stuff. this is all we are doing. >>alisyn: it is hard to know how many kids would be denied an education and how many would drop out of college if this happened.

>>dave: we have major problems and we cannot agree offer student loan interest rates the >>alisyn: we have to fight over everything, that is the point. >>clayton: and both sides pandering to score political points. what do you think? no wonder congress has a 14 percent areally -- approval rating. >>dave: is it that high? >>alisyn: we are learning more of an attack on the governor's office in afghanistan. two taliban militants slipped into the governor's compound and set off a gunfight between guards and the attackers with reports that two gunmen were killed and two guards. officials say another guard was also wounded and is wearing explosive rigged vests and carrying weapons. the governor was not hurt. the secret service revising their code of conduct not wake of the colombian escort fiasco

and the new rules, agents are if longer allowed to take foreigners to the hotel room and they are banned from drinking ten hours from their shift and visiting houses of ill repute. strip clubs. all agents will also is to attend ethics training classes next evening with. and support for secret service director mark sullivan seems to be eroding on capitol hill and some say the new rules suggest that colombian fiasco was to the isolated and if that is true say say he should be held accountable. the house of representatives is confirming they are moving ahead with plans to hold attorney general holder in contempt of congress for not handing over all documents demanded on "fast and furious," and holder denies being incooperative, it was a gunrunning program that put hundreds of weapons in the hands of mexican criminals and two agains were used in a shoot out

>>clayton: i am picking up on something. >>dave: awkward. >>clayton: we will save that for the after the show, show. and risk is down in tuesday canless 10, alabama, and he was there a year ago during the outbreak of the deadly tornadoes and this is video. 53 were killed and 12 percent of the entire was destroyed. >>dave: rick what do you see? rick: some places rebuilt and some places not just yet, a complicated process, and it is permit to note, also, this was the biggest outbreak in tornado history, in the united states,ment just tuesday -- not just in tuscaloosa, but that had

the most fatalities at 53. and look at video, a year ago this morning, right there, at this sunrise, the trees are banged up, excuse me, the cars, the trees that look like toothpicks, that was a year ago today. and now look in the same spot you can see where we are now and how it looks. mostly, cleaned up. nothing rebuilt in this neighborhood just yet but a few of the trees are sticking out and the cars and the debris this is gone and i can tell you a couple hundred yards away there are homes that have been rebuilt and they are habitat for humanity homes and we will talk with a woman would has been given a home with an incredible story of being thrown hundreds of yards from her home with her kids and surviving. the weather will not be leak we had last year, but you can see the map shows rain going on

across the areas of the great lakes keeping things cool and it will be a gloomy day and across the west, not that bad of a day, pretty nice conditions, and look where the severe weather for today is, i don't think we are tag about a big tornado outbreak but hail and wind, and to spots one in the ohio valley and one across parts of texas and oklahoma if we see tornadoes it will be that area across texas and oklahoma. guys, last year we talked to a woman who owned a continueture repair business, and we will talk with her at bottom of hour and see how her year has gone. >>alisyn: we will look forward to that update. >> a an epa official coming under fire after seeing the agency crucified energy producers. (inaudible).

>> the former president of shell who met with the epa official is here to respond. >>dave: this is why you do not streak at a baseball game. check this out. an umpire tackling the crazy fan after he slides into home, and that umpire could face discipline. that story later. >> you have to be fully nude. that doesn't count.

>>clayton: a top epa official under comments he made in 2010 saying the enforcement policy is similar to the crucifixtion of christians.

(inaudible) >>clayton: lawmakers want the official to step down and a congressman is sponsoring legislation asking the epa official to resign. and now, with more on this, is the foam c.e.o. of shell oil and founder of citizens for affordable energy. thank you, john. >>guest: good morning. >>clayton: you are a democrat. so you are not coming here with an ax to find and you met with this official a number of years ago and you her the comments, are they reflective of then he said to you in the past? or is this new? >>guest: i met him with energy executives after his agreement

and having been the president of a very large again with huge, huge environmental responsibilities he proceeded to say to me and to this group that he was there to end eight years of environmental degradation, meaning the bush administration years, and i rolled my eyes hospital is this person to come long, several weeks after his appointment and suddenly condemn what all the companies in region sex were doing over the last eight years to provide environmental protection, not environmental degradation. so when i heard this i was not surprise. you look at his back ground he is not fit for an october, she a professor, environmental activist, a professor and suddenly in charge of a six-state region, the bread basket of the chemical and oil and gas industry in the united states. it is pathetic appointment.

frankly. >>clayton: his apology says i regret my poor choice of words, it was inaccurate way to portray our efforts to address the potential violations of our environmental laws but it sounds to me, john, like he is not really apologizing for the things he said, because he is saying them repeatedly and it founds like this is in the first time he had said those things. >>guest: i am sure. now he is the laughingstock of this region. why would anyone in the industry have any regard for someone who has such poor judgment as to condemn a prior administration, as i heard him say, or to make such an outrageous statement about crucifixtion. wherever he goes, now, all you have to do is hold up a cross, and you can remind him, what a fool he has been, so how can you rely on his judgment over enforcement issues. we are supposed to have justice

reflected not environmental protection agency. >>clayton: it seems the epa has going far afield under the only statement, and it seems to be more of a radical organization now, going after policy, trying to do away with certain businesses, rather than trying to protect individuals. am i wrong? >>guest: well, it depends upon would you working with. this are very rational, reasonable, very concerned professionals that work in the average but when you get a person like this who goes off on his own and you can imagine what advise and what counsel he has given to the regulators, you go into the bizarre expenses, like some of the companies in region six have faced, under his leadership, and i would not condemn the whole agency, but i would say that they need to do a very hard job of scrutinizing candidates for office before they appoint them. we do not need ideologues

running junior -- major agencies. >>clayton: thank you, john, great to see you. still ahead, a new ad says calling someone an illegal alien is a hate crime. is it right? is that too p.c.?

worse than the crime. >>guest: absolutely. look, you tell them directly, playing with your toy in bed at night and they lie about it, you tell them how life will onfold. we have known this from bill clinton to the other lies the coverup is worse than the crime. >>dave: as a parent and anchor as a friend i react to get fiery but you say if your kid is lying it is not about express anger but telling them you are more disappointed. why is that important? >>guest: that is important because i grew up with a jewish mother who instilled guilt in me. but, that's important because what do kids want? they want love. they can resist at nine or 10 or 11, you get angry, they can get their on backs up or decide, that was very painful i will move around that in the future be a betterly arrest but -- a

better liar, you can let them know they are better than that and they step up. >>alisyn: how do you punish? >>guest: not huge punishment just say, look, now you have to earn my trust back. that is the punnerment. there can be others but the biggest is, now you got yourself if a hole and you have to earn my trust back and don't hire arthur to get you out of it even though he could. >>dave: that is advise to live by. >>guest: if you are an adult there is known better not world that arthur aidala. >>alisyn: thank you, doctor, great to talk to you. >>dave: a year ago, a deadly tornado devastated the city of cuss tuscaloosa, alabama, and rick is live on the ground talking to the community members.

know whose car it was immediately when we came out and saw this but question not imagine how small the car was, but we found out it was the owner of a fabricship, and we talkd to her last year. listen to what she had to say then. >> when day at a time. do what we can do. and i have had two houses burn down on me, so i can live through this. rick: do houses? >>guest: our house is still livable. rick: taking it one day at time. we came back and we found you this year and we wanted to talk but. just see how the last year has been. >>guest: it has been rough. but, we are still taking when day at a time. rick: one day at a time. this is your community. you have lived in this area for 32 years. >>guest: i have. rick: you have an fabric bit

and you used to live in a house that stood right there, and your daughter's home, during the tornado, was a little bit back. >>guest: right down there. rick: you go to a church that was over there. and your entire life and we did not realize how small are words are until your world is taken apart. >>guest: that is right. rick: how are you doing today? and how your family is? >>guest: we opened a shop next to the park behind the convenience store own there and we get a pretty good sized building, and we still working. rick: you were thinking you were going to retire but you have to work longer? >>guest: i had to work a little while longer but i am still looking forward to retiring. rick: make a bit longer. you look great and we are happy

to fiend you here okay although you lost so much, right here in this one spot. guys that is one story. many more comes up later if -- in the show. >>clayton: hard to believe half of the town was wiped off the map. amazing video. and it is just ... a year later to put the structures back together and the outpouring of people in that community and around the south, that is remarkable. >>alisyn: and the testimony of some of the people that rick is talking to, i have never heard someone describe it as being actually in the storm and being tossed around and spinning and spending. usually they for get that, they knock out or forget. but he is talking to people that remember that moment. >>dave: tremendous resolve in tuscaloosa. >>alisyn: and the t.s.a. it turns south more lax on screening for airport worker than on passengers.

reportedly there is a backlog and that is keeping u.s. airports from completely all background security checks on potential workers but it is not keeping the same workers from being hired. the t.s.a. is said to be granting regulatory relief to airports that allow t.s.a. agents to be hired without being fully screened. the airports where this is tagging place have not yet been identified. >> throw and go. that is one ohio couple's approach to family vacation. for years the couple have been pecking up their vacation destinations by throwing a dart at a map, literally, and now they treating another deserving family to a get away. bob is throwing the dart on behalf of the skay family early on friend friend and you can see it landed on jack sonville, florida and they joined by satellite. here is what they say about the gift. >> we are all excited and arounded to have this opportunity and to have met bob

and the long of the streak the baltimore orioles have been on in quite some time. it is ridiculous. someone needs to put a stop to this, he ran for a minute, governor, would weigh in. >>governor huckabee: they should not only tackle them but they have to arrest the people and made an example. it is cute the first time, but it is dangerous. this guy only had his shirt off. >>alisyn: if you are going to streak, go for the full thing. >>governor huckabee: not something you want to take to an all nude baseball she. >>clayton: the governor was not planning on talking about nude baseball. >>dave: he is versatile. >>clayton: you never know what we will start with. >> well start with this, the dueling political ads. it is really, are we even starting this thing yet and it is already nasty. one side you have one ad running

against president obama showing him as cool cat. out there, slow jamming the news, the cool cat. and open the other happened you have a new obama ad going after mitt romney saying, would he have pulled the trigger on osama bin laden? what do you make of this >>guest: these are mild compared to the call. in labor day and beyond it will make this stuff look very kind and benevolent. i am hoping at one points one candidate will decide to do something different, and that is, to tell the truth and take the ad, it is if front of a scene and say this is the ad my opponent is running against me. this is ridiculous. and just to they it out there and to not allow director -- just discredit it and give your pentagon to the people and say this is what he says but how credible is his message about me, he doesn't know me and he

doesn't want me to win. i'm not about him losing but about you as an american citizen winning and here is how i will help you win your job back. >>dave: it is fair after the bin laden ad, is it fair to go so far? certainly we expect him to boast about what he has done in office, but is it fair to go so far as bill clinton saying, would mitt romney, or joe biden. >>governor huckabee: gentleman biden said a lost dumb things this week, and that is one them. but the thing that, it was a bridge too far. one thing to say, i did this because i had the courage to make a tough decision. high don't know what his opponent would do. and he can take an out of context statement romney made in 2007 but that is not applicable to the specific instance that is being addressed. i thought it was, really, really, beneath the dignity of

the president's campaign. >>alisyn: you say it is okay to tout the success. but senator john mccain thought that was floating, basically, spying the ball. hung hung this is a political campaign. this ain't chess. this is hardball politics. you have to put your best message. obama has to overcome the image he is only the "cool," guy that can slow jam the news with can he make the tough decisions. this is a tough decision. it is okay to tout it but he cannot make it as if i was willing and romney wouldn't be. that is what he can't say because he doesn't know. >>clayton: what do you make of the campaigning versus governor en, the president on air force one flying to certain events. is it a campaign stop? or governing and falling to universities and getting the emergency out there? republicans attacking him saying taxpayers deserve to have their money back.

spending taxpayer dollars. doesn't every president do this? >>guest: of course and they use air force one and they use all the power and the trappings of their office to campaign. the difference in this indicate, and it is a thin line if you are the democrat you defend it and if you are a republican you attack it but long term most americans don't care, but if obama doesn't have something that is a little blighted more official than what he has had and in his official stop he is not touting something he is doing, but he is attacking republicans, that is where i think the line is, and he has crossed it. >> so, he should stop doing it or mentioning the republicans? >>governor huckabee: on the campaign stops he needs to go after them. that is what a campaign is about. but on the official stops as president he needs to rise above the partisan politics and talk about america and its initiatives and how it will help america but leave the blame game to the campaign stops.

this is a difference. >>dave: a new ad calling someone an illegal immigrant is a hate crime even if it is true. .

exploiting osama bin laden, the war on terror and the the capturing of usama bin laden for political gain or whether or not he's justified in he reminding people that was a big, bold decision on his part? >> that is one issue, but the other is second guessing another man's intentions and speculating whether or not mitt romney would have the guts to make that difficult call. that's a stretch for anyone. and imagine most presidents put this that position, and presented with the facts that we had the most wanted man in the world, responsible for 9/11, we have him right now in our sights, should we get him? >> maybe, i see your point, it's a good point and even vice-president biden told him not to do it, and bill clinton had the opportunity a couple of times and there were situations where osama bin laden and didn't go after. we know under george w. bush what happened in tora bora. >> alisyn: it was a risk, it could have gone badly.

>> to your point that's the most important point, if you ever question someone's intentions the worst thing to do to a person you don't know what's in their head. >> alisyn: and john mccain he doesn't like that president obama is exploiting osama bin laden. shame on president obama for diminishing the memory of september 11th and the killing of osama bin laden by turning it into a cheap political attack add. and now, barack obama is not only trying to score political points, invoking osama bin laden and he objects to that very point. >> clayton: governor huckabee on our show takes issue a little with what senator mccain is saying, look, it's a political season. and charles krauthammer, it's okay to tout your political experience, but may cross the line. >> there's a lot wrong with this ad. there's nothing wrong with the president making a positive

ad, i did this, it was risky, i'm commander-in-chief, it's a good thing you want to reelect me. it's legitimate not using it in a way that he is not legitimate. instead he goes, i do this and romney wouldn't have. and first of all, he doesn't know. and second of all, a distortion of what romney is sayi saying. >> dave: and lost among this, no mention of navy seal team six and some say the admiral made the gutsiest call of all and that's disturbing to me, we're not maybe giving credit to the brave men and women who are responsible here. >> alisyn: we have a navy vet, you, i'm sure know from our show, he says we should not be making this an issue of left and right. >> the president should be a unifier and this is an issue that's not a partisan issue and i think regardless who is in the white house, the decision would have been made for us to have victory over

bin laden and give him the ultimate price, which is his death and seal team six and the military should not be used as a political tool of left versus right. >> clayton: i mean, it just seemed odd and weird to be using this in sort of a congratulatory way, there's history here, even bill burton, a former obama spokesperson condemned the use of the president's tactics under george w. bush's era talking about the politics of fear, criticizing hillary clinton for doing the same thing in 2008 saying it's ironic that she would borrow the president's tactics in had her own campaign and invok bin laden to score political points. we already have a president, preferring to president bush, who plays the politics of fear and we don't need another. >> alisyn: and you may remember, this was the hillary clinton ad she showed scary images from the the depression, from the gas lines, from bin laden and all shorts of scary many imagines and says you need to be ready for anything, making the point

that barack obama was too inexperienced to become president. i think that's different, i don't know that this is necessarily the right comparison because that you could say are the politics of fear, showing scary images and president obama his crowning achievement. you want to be able to trumpet one of your crowning achievements during the election. >> dave: when you say my opponent may not have killed him, he may still on the list if you elected the wrong man, so-- >> it ruins the entire ad. i mean, you have. >> dave: i agree, i think it lessens the point. >> clayton: here is a decision, people called him sort after waffler on decision making and here is a decisive moment. my vice-president is telling me not to do it and. >> dave: we're in, and that's how politics are, instead of touting your own positive utes been breaking down your opponent. and people are sick and tired of. >> alisyn: and we put the twitter out to you and we'll read those later. >> clayton: a vietnam vet so sick with cancer he can no

how is it the government's fault? >> you remember back in february of 2009, there was a famous hearing where all the auto execs flew in in private jets and a brouhaha over that. at that point they were told that they had to come up with a plan in 30 days if they wanted the bailout money. chrysler came up with a plan that did not include terminating any dealers, but once the automotive task force looked at the plan, they required chrysler to terminate dealers to get the bailout money. >> clayton: now, some are saying that this is bankruptcy, but you say this isn't bankruptcy at all. explain if they're restructuring here and forcing car dealerships to go out of business to save money, wouldn't that be a bankruptcy? you say no. >> no, well, first of all, i don't know of any bankruptcy and i'm no lawyer, but i don't know of any bankruptcy where the assets are transferred three months before the first meeting of the creditors of the corporation.

so-- >> so it doesn't pass the smell test. >> it doesn't pass the smell test. >> clayton: you say the the automakers are to blame based on what? >> they thought that the dealers cost them money and a tarp report that came to the conclusion that says that auto dealers don't cost money. we buy our tools and pay for training and pay for brochures that go on the showroom floor. >> clayton: but the argument is that chrysler makes another is that there's downsizing involved here. they're saving money, the auto giants are saving money, here is a statement from chrysler and read it to you and get your response. chrysler groups optimize dealer network is contributing to improved dealer sales and customer service and will continue to be part-- plans to place all of our brands under one roof enhanced dealer profitable and greater

investments by existing dealerships. the idea that we're saving money and restructuring, that's what they're saying, do you buy that? >> no, they call it rationalizing the dealer body. and they didn't rationalize the dealer body. a lot of times no difference, the dealer in our area i don't think is located as well as we were. >> and you were forced to shut one of your dealerships? >> we were forced to shut down. >> what do you think is going to happen in the future here? out of business? >> i don't think there will be more dealerships go out of business. i mean, we had 879 dealers, or 789 dealers go out of business, so-- >> will you win the suit? >> i sure hope so. >> keep us up-to-date with this, and the the progress. ken miller, car leadership owner who was forced to close one of the dealerships, thanks for coming this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> a fugitive on the runway, one prisoner giving police a run for their money. and why in the world did these students throw a perfectly good piano off a building?

>> you can scrape that up. look how easy it is for me. and one of the things, too, you can pull off some of this good sod or grass and use it in the dead patches in your lawn. >> it's easy, hopefully as easy as home and mix in the planting oil and make sure to have good drainage. >> clayton: you've added some perennials or annuals. >> that's a good question, both. nothing wrong with mixing perennials and and and actually it's kind of nice because the annuals allow you to change things out so you don't have the same look and the key is really, again, just to have fun with this and be creative. you can see that we've got some of the taller plants in the back and then work our way forward with the shorter plants. >> you've added the mulch and potting soil. >> we're going to mulch over because it's important to keep the water and moisture in soil and looks nice and i'll use the brown mulch on top.

>> a bitter battle in rhode island over the separation of church and state. one atheist group is calling the cross, a world war i memorial and they call it unconstitutional. they want it moved and some people in the community disagree. >> i don't want cave-in to the atheist group. i just do not want to cave-in to them. >> they seem to be preying on

the weak, communities that can't defend themselves because they don't have the funds to do it and that's what kind of people, these people are. >> alisyn: should the town be allowed to keep the cross? the radio host is hosting a community rally to keep the cross and he joins us. >> good morning, alisyn. >> alisyn: this cross has been here 91 years and has it ever caused controversy before? >> never, alisyn. it was dedicated in 1951 and rededicate today honor those who fought in the second world war and it's outrageous the atheist groups, they're upset that st. patrick's day is celebrated and this is a war memorial. no one is forcing anyone to go and pray in front of it. it honors those that served our country some who lost their lives. a war memorial since 1921 and we're going to fight to keep

it there. and we heard a resident say the town of woonsocket is facing bankruptcy, do they have the money to fight this fight? >> that's the thing, i believe an organization like this, they're bullies and the bishop of providence said they're bullies and target cash strapped cities, feeling they're going to intimidate them instead of fighting it to just cave and go along. a number of people stepped forward and we're going to try to create an effort to make sure that the city has the proper resources to fight this. make no mistake about it, if they win this battle, what next? does this mean crosses at arlington, does this mean, how about the cemetery that overlooks omaha beach and those that lost their lives at normandy? this is a war memorial. we're going to fight to keep it that way. >> alisyn: by the way they don't like that the i believe, the fire department has a website that perhaps uses some

cross imagery. let me read to you a statement from the atheist group and say that the website demonstrates a preference, sorry for religion over nonreligion and the latin cross at the fire station demonstrates woonsocket's preference for christianity over other religions, is this a first amendment issue? >> it's not alisyn. two separate issues, the firemen, some are about to come on the program on fox, they don't discern who they have to go and save, but it's two separate issues. to try to say that a war memorial that happens to be a cross is somehow offending people, that's what this atheist group is saying, that someone has to go by it and offended. instead, they should feel that it's solid ground and this is a total insult to all veterans, we have bishop at the stand with me and the general, and we're going to fight to keep the war memorial where it belongs.

>> in fact, we should let people know you're going to have a community rally. wednesday, may 2nd, at the cross in woonsocket. please let us know what happens next in the battle. we appreciate it. >> good to be you, alisyn. >> alisyn: next, a smoking hot battle, dave, dave and clayton are going to join some of new york city's buffest and bravest in a tug-of-war, how is that going to go? oh, boy. ♪ ♪
